T0 @ZZ whom t may concern:

Be it known that I, HARRY A. DEITERS, a

. citizen of the United States, residing at Spen-` cer, in thecounty of Roane and State of West Virginia, have inventeda new and useful Gas- Burner, of which the following is a specification.

This invention relates to gas-burners in general, and more particularly to that class employed in connection with natural gas, although it is also well adapted for burning other gases, one object of the invention being to provide a structure which will be cheap and in which no carbonizing will take place, and a further object being to permit the introduction of the gas to the base at any desired point and to facilitate the application and reinoval of the individual burners.

- In the drawings forming a portion ot' this invention and in which similar numerals of reference designate like and corresponding parts in the several views, Figure 1 is a perspective view showing the complete burner. Fig. 2 is a central vertical section taken longitudinally of the base of the burner. lFig.

3 is a detail section taken transversely of the,

base and centrally of one of the burner-tubes, the upper portion of the burner-tube being broken away. Fig. 4 is a detail perspective view of one of the individual burners.

Referring now to the drawings, the burner of the present invention comprises a rectangular base 5, which is made, preferably, of cast-iron and in the upper side of which are formed perforations 6, having depending flanges 7 at their edges, 'these iianges being interiorly threaded, as shown in Fig. 3 of the drawings. The threads of the flanges reach only part way downwardly thereof, and communicating with the threads are radial slots 10, which are formed in the upper side or top 11 of the base.

A burner-tube is provided for each of the perforations 6, and each of these burner-tubes consists of a cylindrical lower portion 12 and a cross-sectionally rectangular upper portion 13, the lower portion being offsuiticient diameter for its lower extremity to iit snugly in the flange 7.

are adapted to pass through the radial slotsl 10, after which the burner-tube may b'e r0- tated to engage the lugs with the threads of the flanges 7. As the burner-tube is rotated with the lugs in engagement with the lianges the tube is drawn downwardly into the perforation and into the inclosure of the flange, and the lower portion of the burner tube is slightly tapered, sothat a tight joint is secured between the tapered portion of the burner-tubeand the inner periphery of the lower portion of the flange, which is un threaded.

As shown in Figs. 2 and 3 ofthe drawings, the lower end of each burner-tube is closed, except for a small central perforation 17,

through which the gas from the hollowbase 5 may pass into the burner-tube and ont of the upper end thereof.

The upper `portion of each tube is rectanegular in cross-section, as above mentioned, the section being oblong, and in-the broader sides yoi' the upper portion of the burner and at diainetrically-opposite points are formed triangular openings 18, the apex of each opening being disposed ,.upwardly, as shown in Fig. 4. These openings 18 permit the entrance of air to the burner-tube, and thus insure complete combustion of the gases, so that a blue flame issues from the top of the burner-tube and carbonizing is prevented.

Openings 19 and 2O are formed at the ends of the base 5, and a third opening 21 is formed through the bottom, and with these openings are connected pipes, any one of which may be connected with a supply of gas, while the rest are closed.

It will be seen that with the present structure both the base and the burner-tubes may be made of cast metal, so that the cost of the structure will be little, also that when desired any one or more of the burner-tubes may be removed and their perforations in the base closed with suitable plugs, and also that any injured or broken parts may be renewed with a minimum of expense and labor. Furthermore, by providing each of the burner-tubes with an air-inlet a sufcient quantity of air may bemixed with the gas to secure complete combustion,and thus as the result there will be no carbonizing.

It will of course be understood that in practice the base may be made to accommodate any desired number of burner-tubes and that any suitable proportions may be observed to secure the best results.

What is claimed isl. A gas-burner comprising a hollow base provided with perforations, interiorly-threaded {langes upon the inner side of the base adjacent the perforations, slots in the base leading to the perforations, and a burner-tube for each perforation adapted to fit into the inclosure of the flange of its respective perforation, each of said tubes having oppositelydisposed lugs adapted to pass through the slots and engage the threads of the flanges, wherebythe burner-tubes may be drawn into the inclosures of their respective flanges, means for supplying vgas to the base, and

means for supplying air to each of the burner- 25' tubes. v

2. A gas-burner comprising a hollow base provided with perfor-ations, interiorly-threaded flanges upon the inner side of the base adjacent the perforations, slots in the base lead- 3o HARRY A. DEITERS.
